Sure is. Are there any good options apart from?
a) Build an interface for people to translate through
b) Allow selected people to connect directly to the database
For the present b) is not an option as I don't have the needed access to
the postgresql.org database server to be able to adjust the pg_hba.conf
file, and a) Would take some decent time and effort to get up and
running. A lot longer than cut and pasting into an Excel document then
back out again. :-/
